Site Preparation

This chapter describes how to prepare your site for installing Extreme Networks equipment. It contains 
information about environmental and cabling requirements, power requirements, and building and 
electrical code organizations.

This chapter includes these sections:

The requirements described in this chapter are intended for the system administrator, network 
equipment technician, or network manager who is responsible for installing and managing the network 
hardware. It assumes a working knowledge of local area network (LAN) operations, and a familiarity 
with communications protocols that are used on interconnected LANs. Installation, maintenance, and 
removal of a switch, chassis, or its components must be done by qualified service personnel only.

Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and experience that is necessary to 
be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a task and of measures to 
minimize the danger to themselves or other people.

By carefully planning your site, you can maximize the performance of your existing network and 
ensure that it is ready to migrate to future networking technologies.

To learn more about safety issues and to ensure safety compliance, see Appendix A.

Read the safety information in Appendix A thoroughly before installing your Extreme Networks switch. 
Failure to follow this safety information can lead to personal injury or damage to the equipment.
